Suite of Humanities Khanyisa Introductory Courses

Since 2020, the Humanities Faculty has rolled out a suite of new re-designed first-year level courses (named Khanyisa Courses) that are responsive to the need for decolonising higher education curricula. These courses use content that draws on our location in Africa in order to introduce different fields of study in the Arts and Social Sciences. They use innovative teaching and delivery methods which allow more time for active engagement and the development of critical reading and writing skills in the Humanities. There are no Plus tutorials attached to these courses because they are already pedagogically enriched courses. We highly recommend these courses to all general degree Humanities students, including Extended degree students.  These courses may be taken as electives or towards a major.

The re-designed courses offered in 2021 are as follows:
